mint chocolate chip!!

hey lovelies!

this polish today reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream every time i wear it!!!
maybe sometime i'll do a base of this and sprinkle brown sparkles on it

here we have OPI Gargantuan Green Grape
i looked up gargantuan and it means enormous

this was a 3+ coater with a slightly streaky formula :( . Not what i would expect from OPI.
A good time to wear this nice color is in the summer or any time when the sun is shining. Otherwise the green isn't as bright or cheerful.

As you can see, I randomly placed a silver hexagon sparkle on all the nails...Unfortunatly the one on my ring finger fell off :(
 I think it adds an extra sparkle

excuse the chipping, this was taken 1 day after i swatched it

New Haul from Walgreens!!! Yay

**warning this post is picture heavy**

YAY last night i visited Walgreens and..... NEW HAUL!!
previously my go to store for nail polish had been CVS (blah) but i had always been curious if Walgreens had any other brands..turns out...they DID!!!! they had sinful colors!!
I also did some holiday shopping at evilbay....
can't wait for that nail mail to arrive ;)

It turns out the most of the SC polishes I purchased are from the 2009 fall collection
all of them were great deals for only 1.99 (0.0)

anyway...here is the first glitter
a very holiday-y glitter

here is Sinful Colors "Call You Later" a clear based green glitter with small flecks of both green AND gold plus larger green hexagons

"finally a holiday glitter"

1 coat

2 coats

3 coats

notice how awesome unique different this polish looks in the shade

and finally=

bamm!!!!

lol it goes off the page (sorry bout that ;)

this polish.......
lacks words it is so awesomely hot and amazing
plus its an amazingly festive color (christmas lights/party/tree/ presents!!!!)

I mean seriously, a green glitter with gold flecks... already I'm hooked

**thank you polish gods for leading me to this polish, I am eternally grateful**

what do you guys think?

the perfect jade

this polish is unlike any of my other polishes

its called Jenson Jade Beach and by a brand called nail polish

i doubt i paid more than $5 for this but i can't be sure...

Jenson Jade Beach is a sheer shimmer jade

usually very subtle, except when its brilliant sparkle gets caught in the sun

3 coats

(please ignore the weird bump on my pinkie....it brushed on in the polish) 

(O.O)

pretty.......

the green grasshopper hops gaily in the grass

like the title? i do ;) yesterday someone said this color reminded them of a grasshopper
not sure if i agree, but its a fun way to think about it :P

 today i have a Revlon scented polish, "Beach"
this polish does not remind me at all of the beach
and I've been to the beach a whole lot
here are the pics :

4 coats "beach"

one coat SV

Beach is a green-yellow with minimini sparkles that light up in the sun

unfortunately there isn't a sun in the sky at the moment :(

application was would have been perfect, in not for the SHEERNESS

as i said this is around 4-5 coats

unto the smell.....

it does smell slightly beach-ish but a little too on the sickly sweet side for me

then......

i did a konad on my nails and kinda epically failed

for that i used a special konad polish that appeared royal blue but on the nail you can it looks turquoise 

after that i decided to spice it up even more and add some random nail art

i don't know about you, but this deffinelty reminds me of a green grasshopper hopping gaily through the grass ( without the grasshopper hopping part) lol

happy thanksgiving ( in advance)!!!

Revlon Emerald City matte finish

later today i decided to do a subdued mani
i used revlon "emerald city" matte finish
this is my first matte polish!!!

as you can see...emerald city is a very pretty green with tidy sparkles

I love it!!! 

i wanted to see what it would look like without the matte finish 

so i did an accent nail with my SV

the SV makes the tiny green glitter stand out a little more but i still love the matte finish

very sophisticated ;)

for those of you who don't know what a matte finish is google "matte nails"

I'm still awaiting the arrival of my konad stamping plates
